AI-Native Product Manager | 0→1 Builder | Agentic AI & Transit Tech I build products at the intersection of AI and operations — using agentic AI, automation, and data-driven decision-making to turn messy, manual workflows into systems that run themselves. Currently, I'm a Product Owner and hybrid Technical Program Manager at Cubic Transportation Systems, where I lead backend infrastructure for UMB, a global transit technology platform operating under a SAFe delivery framework. My recent work includes architecting a Rovo-based agentic system for capability tracking across 100+ assignments, and designing eval-driven AI workflows — including a 47-prompt evaluation dataset — to make AI outputs production-reliable, not just demo-ready. Before Cubic, I spent close to six years building consumer and platform products at Zepto, Blinkit (Zomato), Airtel, and Algosure — leading 0→1 builds, driving double-digit growth in adoption and retention, and shipping AI/ML-powered features at scale. I hold an MBA (PGP) from the Indian School of Business, where I also built a GenAI recommendation engine that doubled user retention for a student community. Technical toolkit: Agentic AI, RAG pipelines, LLM Evaluation (G-Eval), Prompt Engineering, SQL, Python, REST APIs, Jira, Confluence, Agile/SAFe, Product Strategy, 0→1 Product Development, Stakeholder Management, Cross-functional Leadership, A/B Testing, Growth Strategy, Data-Driven Decision Making, Automation (Make.com, n8n), GitHub, Azure. I'm always interested in conversations with teams building ambitious, AI-native products — especially where deep tech meets real-world operational complexity. Open to connecting.
